Investigating the basic properties of basalt fiber reinforced cemented paste backfill as a sustainable material for mine backfilling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Mine backfilling technologies have evolved, making the mining industry more sustainable. Further gains could be made by exploring additives that enhance the mechanical, rheological, and thermal properties of backfill. In this study, a sustainable additive, basalt fiber (BF), was added to cemented paste backfill (CPB) samples at two BF lengths (12 and 18 mm) and three BF dosages (0.50, 0.75, and 1.0%). BF length and dosage influenced the properties of BF-reinforced CPB. Addition of 18 mm BF to the CPB at a dosage of 1% decreased the slump value by up to 74% compared with the control. Consequently, the calculated yield stress doubled from 191.8 Pa to 398.8 Pa. Incorporating 12-mm BF at a dosage of 1% improved the uniaxial compressive strength of the CPB by up to 35% after 7 days of curing. The thermal conductivity of CPB reinforced with 12 mm BFs at a dosage of 0.50% decreased by nearly 36%. Whereas most studies focus on the effects of BF on concrete and other construction materials, these findings show that BF has the potential to improve CPB properties for mining applications, which could help reduce binder content, contributing to improved project economics and sustainable mining practices.
